Breeding Nobility

We breed Maine Coons for many reasons: the first being our absolute love and respect for the Maine Coon, second to preserve and protect America’s only true native breed and largest domestic cat in the world with the intent of improving health while perfecting the breed standard, third to produce kittens with delightful dispositions and show quality characteristics, and last, to share the absolutely charming and amusing Maine Coon as the ideal companion. Making the special connection between a kitten and its’ human is our passion and is at the heart of our breeding program!

RoyalLions has a limited number of planned breedings a year between very select parents from highly reputable lines screened for Hip Dysplasia and tested for Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy via genetic DNA testing and ultrasound by board certified veterinarian cardiologists. Our ambition is to increase the gene pool of HCM and HD free Maine Coons to sustain the future livelihood of this extraordinary breed. We believe in quality not quantity thus we do not sell kittens to pet stores nor will we ship a kitten without its new parent to escort it home. RoyalLions does not sell Maine Coon kittens with breeding rights to prevent unethical “kitten farming”. The placement of breeding cats must be mutually approved by our mentors and associated catteries. We breed for health, a gentle disposition, size, and type (the standards set by the cat fancy). We prefer a feral expression, that of wild lynx or bobcat that just stepped out of the woods! The disparity between the feral expression and sweet teddy bear disposition is what deeply attracts us to the Maine Coon cat and what pleasantly intrigues our friends and visitors!
